Diamondback Clarity 1 Women’s Performance Hybrid Bike (2011 Model, 700c Wheels)
Great upgrade from basic,
I purchased this bike as an upgrade from my basic mountain bike that was purchased at Target. This rides so much smoother than my old mountain bike over paved surfaces. The only complaint I have about the bike is the Presta valves. I had never owned a bike with this type of valve and had to purchase one at a bike shop to inflate the tires. For the price, it would have been nice to have the adaptor included since it is relatively inexpensive. My husband pretty much put this together without reading the instructions (typical male) but he is pretty handy. This is the first bike I have purchased online without taking a bike for a test drive and I was a little hesitant, but so far I am very happy with my purchase.

|Nice riding, beautiful design and decent price,
The bike arrived partially assembled. I had to mount the handle bars, pedals, front wheel and connect the brakes. Latter was the most tricky part but not a problem at all – especially when reading the manual. The bike’s design speaks for itself: it’s pure, sporty, elegant. Features I especially like about the bike are the handy bar ends which provide a large area for resting the palms and thus give a feeling of safe handling and high comfort. The “sporty” seat might need some time to get used to but it is nothing compared to any road bike seat. The shifting mechanism is ok, the engagement of the gear with the levers mounted on the handle bars is easy although the movement of the chain could sometimes be smoother. A high plus is the weight of the bike. It’s fully aluminum i.e. corrosion safe and very light and besides having to move less mass during the ride, it can be carried easily to any appartment on the 4th floor.
All in all I am very happy with this buy. It has a nice aspect and provides smooth and fast riding, ideal for commuting to work or town with the comfort of a trekking bike. Like!
